After years of waiting, the North American release of Pandora's Tower is nearly upon us. Publisher XSEED Games announced today that this Wii-exclusive JRPG will hit store shelves on April 16, finally joining The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles to complete the trio of games North American RPG fanatics begged to have localized.

You can check out an extended trailer of the game below.

Pandora’s Tower follows the hero Aeron, out to slay giant monsters and collect their flesh in order to free his lover from a wretched curse, which is transforming her into a hideous monster. To do this he must descend into The Scar and use his sword, the sacred Oraclos Chain and various other weapons to battle his way through 13 towers. Here's the twist - the longer Aeron takes to vanquish each beast, the more monstrous his beloved Elena becomes, ultimately affecting the game's final outcome.
